US news media avoid Islam cartoons linked to deadly attack
Online Edition
LEADING US news outlets mostly declined to show controversial cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Mohammad on Wednesday after suspected Islamist gunmen in Paris killed 12 people at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Reuters reported.
Online news sources the Daily Beast and Slate published the cartoons, but major U.S. publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Reuters and the Associated Press, did not. Some said their guidelines call for avoiding publishing images or other material intended at offending religious sensibilities.
“After careful consideration, Times editors decided that describing the cartoons in question would give readers sufficient information to understand today's story," New York Times Company spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha said by email.
Bill Marimow, editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, told Reuters: “We will not under any circumstances run the cartoons. The idea of gratuitously insulting tens of millions of Muslim people rather than describing something in words is not a close call.”
